Running backs AJ
Dillon and Jamaal Williams are not available for the Packers
this week, leaving Green Bay to hold its breath on the status of
Aaron Jones for Thursday's game at San Francisco.
Dillon tested positive for COVID-19, and Williams was ruled out
Tuesday as a "high risk close contact."
Jones, who hasn't played the past two weeks due to a calf
injury, might not be ready to return Thursday. NFL Network
reported Tuesday there is little optimism in the Packers'
organization that Jones will play.
That would leave the Packers with two healthy running backs --
Dexter Williams and return specialist Tyler Ervin. Ervin's
health is debatable; he was questionable for Week 8 with a wrist
injury.
Ervin has four rushing attempts this season. Dexter Williams
does not have a carry.
Linebacker Kamal Martin is also out Thursday as a close contact.
